Lowering of prices in case of favourable changes in rates of exchange

The Director of Trade notifies that whenever changes in the rates of exchange are favourable in respect of the Maltese Lira, traders are to lower the prices of commodities purchased in such particular currencies.

From investigations carried out recently, it has been found that the price of certain commodities imported from France, Germany, Austria and The Netherlands has not reflected a downward trend, in spite of the strengthening of the Maltese Lira in respect of the French Franc, Deutsche Mark, Austrian Shilling and Dutch Guilder.

It must therefore be stressed that prices of any commodity imported from countries whose currencies have weakened should be lowered. Traders found guilty of abuse will be prosecuted in terms of law.
